48 hours in advance or you break some rule, I thought

the e-mail says "You must cancel an interview as soon as possible, but no later than 5:00 PM TWO (2) BUSINESS DAYS before the interview."Maybe I'm really stupid, but I think that means 5pm Monday for Wednesday cancellation.. but it could mean 5pm Friday evening?

Ya... the "business days" is throwing me off a bit. I'm guessing its just 48 hours in advance. I just dropped two interviews on the 7th fyi.

Does the system allow trading slots for different firms or are you guys trading interviews w/ different firms by setting times that you'll each drop your respective slots then signing up for the newly opened slot? If so that would be clever.

The latter. You can only switch times through the career office for the same firm.

Do you physically mail your resume/transcript or just e-mail it to them? Do they prefer one way over the other? And do you write CL's for all of them -- that sounds awful.

You go to their website and check it out. Some of them have forms to fill out online, and the most part will have you e-mail your resume and transcript to the recruiter. I wrote CL's for some, but it wasn't very specific. For the ones with an online form, I didn't write a CL. I've only done ~15-20 so far. I was going to do more, but got distracted by OCI. We have a pretty big thread about it here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=185921

Thanks for the response. I just found out that all of the Resume Collects I did for OCI didn't go through, so I guess I get to apply to those firms again. I didn't know I was supposed to use a bid on them...

Ohh, that sucks. I would just send them an application through the website. I'm not sure resume collects really pan out for anyone, I haven't heard about anyone hearing back from any.
